If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” while you’re sitting there exhausted, foggy, bloated, anxious, or feeling nothing like yourself — this episode is for you.

Today on It’s Hertime, I’m joined by Dyna Vink, a certified Integrative Health Practitioner and founder of Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about why so many midlife women fall through the cracks of conventional medicine — and what actually helps.

Dyna shares her own perimenopause wake-up call: the symptoms that blindsided her, the frustration of being dismissed by doctors, and the moment she realized this couldn’t just be stress or aging. Through functional medicine testing, she uncovered hidden root causes that standard labs missed — and rebuilt her energy, confidence, and health from the ground up.

This episode is validating, empowering, and packed with practical insight for any woman navigating perimenopause, midlife symptoms, or that unsettling feeling of “something is off, but no one can tell me why.”

In This Episode, We Cover:

•Why perimenopause hits high-achieving women especially hard

•The emotional toll of being told “everything is normal” when it clearly isn’t

•How traditional medicine falls short for midlife women

•What functional medicine does differently (and why it changes everything)

•The surprising role parasites can play in fatigue, gut issues, and hormone chaos

•Detox myths vs. realistic detox foundations that actually support hormones

•The gut–hormone–brain connection and why gut health is non-negotiable

•Why optimizing your health is not selfish — it’s a professional investment

•The very first step to take if you’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
